Increases Instability1 take
The Strait of Hormuz Agreement might seem like a step towards better management, but in reality, it could lead to more instability. By allowing Iran to exert more control in the area, it risks increasing tensions with other nations that rely on oil shipments. When the stakes are so high, any disagreement could escalate quickly, making the situation even more precarious for global oil security.
